AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND PUBLISHERS
The AA Independent Press Guide started
life as a supplement to Acid Angel Magazine, back in 1998. Since then, it has grown and grown, and now
over 2,000 print and internet magazines and publishers are listed from all over
the world. The one thing that hasn’t
expanded is the editorial team. That
is, it is still a one man operation, and it is physically impossible for this
one man to keep tabs on everything in this guide. Whilst I endeavour to keep The AA Independent Press Guide as accurate
and up-to-date as possible I just don’t have the time, energy or finance
necessary to constantly check and re-check each listing. Magazines and publishers come and go, just
like that. So, inevitably, some of the
magazines and publishers listed will no longer be operational. There will also be omissions in this guide:
magazines and publishers that aren’t listed.
You can help out, by making me aware of
any inaccuracies and omissions in this guide.
Just email me at aa-independent-press-guide@ntlworld.com
and let me know what you know. Then I
can let everyone else know too!
I hope you’ll consider making a donation
to help with the upkeep of this website.
